Oh my, we could begin at the beginning, but it's going to go on a while.
1) We could start by God's choosing to punish all of mankind because one woman and her husband ate a piece of fruit and gained "the knowledge of good and evil."
2) God favors Abel over Cain for dubious reasons and gives Cain a motive for the first murder.
3) God destroys Babel and inhibits the communications of man for fear they might build a tall building.
4) God destroys all humans except Noah, his wife, and their sons, and daughters-in-law and all animals except for a pair of each wild kind, and more of each domestic kind. His excuse is he thinks they are wicked although no example of wickedness is given and he doesn't give them any law until much later.
And that's just the beginning of Genesis.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
